Unbelievable

This ABC interview with Bush is pretty unbelievable. First, at the bottom of page one he begins defining what he thinks is his legacy which is an interesting list of priorities. Then we get to Iraq,

BUSH: .....Clearly, one of the most important parts of my job because of 9/11 was to defend the security of the American people. There have been no attacks since I have been president, since 9/11. One of the major theaters against al Qaeda turns out to have been Iraq. This is where al Qaeda said they were going to take their stand. This is where al Qaeda was hoping to take ...

Raddatz: But not until after the U.S. invaded.

Bush: Yeah, that's right. So what? The point is that al Qaeda said they're going to take a stand.....

There are several other historical misunderstandings on Iraq in the interview, and I don't think they're necessarily spin. I think he really believes in a different history. The whole interview is worth a read. (And no mention of all the people who have died.)

(Is this supposed to be an Iraq and Afghanistan "victory lap"?)
